Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine): Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) is an stimulant for the treatment of add/adhd. It is necessary to monitor the response over time to find the correct dose. Sometimes the demands increase, as if you are working late or studying more, and the need for medications are greater. Discuss with the prescriber to adjust the dose to your current demands.
